ard Rock Hotel Bali announced its most recent action toward fostering sustainable tourism with the installation of cutting-edge glass bottling technology for drinking water.
The project, launched on Jan. 9, aims to reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint and remove single-use plastic bottles, beginning with the replacement of plastic water bottles with sealed glass bottles in all 418 guest rooms and suites.
In addition to routine laboratory testing, the water bottling plant delivers the finest filtration capable of removing bacteria, particles and other contaminants through reverse osmosis and UV sterilization, ensuring the quality of the drinking water while maintaining the highest standard of safety and hygiene.
In Bali and many parts of the world, the vast majority of plastic bottles end up in landfills and the ocean, or are burned, generating air pollution detrimental to human health and the environment.
With the automated water-bottling plant in house, Hard Rock Hotel Bali is able to eliminate more than 400,000 plastic bottles every year, as well as reduce the carbon emissions associated with transporting the plastic bottled water. The initiative will also extend to include restaurants and other facilities within the hotel.
